I'd heard it was a pure speculation/unfounded.


Wouldn't it just?

Sounds completely plausible.

Let's be honest, imagine a year before Pearson bought us, I came on here to say he was intrested in buying us the reaction I would have got.

It is rather interesting that Graham provided information on new investment and a few weeks later our owner states our current coach will 'probably be his last'. AP either sees Tony as a long term appointment or there really is some new investment on the horizon.

Or quite possibly both.

Would be the perfect scenario

Doom n Gloom
It’s far too early in season.
This subject header needs locking.

Neither Eddie nor Malcolm ever showed any interest in local sport as far as I'm aware. Time will tell if one of the next generation has decided to invest although I'm not sure if an astute businessman would do so just to off a rival.

I quite agree with you regarding any business man willing to offload a load of cash just to pee off a rival. I can assure you from first hand knowledge that one of the brothers has invested cash into a local sports club. So who knows finger's crossed

See Milnes has joined wakey on loan. Decent pick up for them

Great business acumen shown by Wakey, signing a player on a two week loan when there is no game in week 2 of the loan

Forgot about the international break.... I'd assume Rovers will extend it unless Lewis or Abdul pick up an injury

Didn't Branson do similar with what is now Virgin Atlantic? I'm sure he did it to p1s5 Britiosh Airways off as he had some beef with them.

Either way any investment that comes in to RL is much needed as its currently not a sport that makes much money due to the poor marketing ploys and strategies by the sports Governors and Owners.
Hopefully with IMG these things will improve greatly over the coming years.

Back on topic, I do think that once Trueman is back on the field along with Hoy & Clifford and we can keep them on the field together we will improve my only concern is with the rest that have a track record of throwing the towel in early.

The optimist in me thinks things are bound to get better. Trueman coming in to complete our spine getting games under their belts and improving, Carlos/Savelio getting back to their bests after long layoffs, forwards finding a bit of forrm, its all bound to happen eventually right?

The pessimist side however thinks things will continue to get worse. Granted this is by far the worst position Wakey have found themselves in, however they have a habit of always just doing enough to survive. They know how and when to dig in during a relegation battle, whilst we don't. If we come to the final few games of the season with only a couple wins between us and them I would be bricking it
